Former West Des Moines
businessman John Vratsinas could owe $35,000 in unpaid child support payments,
according to the recent bankruptcy filing of his ex-wife, Stacy Vratsinas. John
Vratsinas, whose personal bankruptcy case is under dispute, was ordered to pay
$6,000 a month in child support for the couple's three children.

Stacy
Vratsinas said in her personal bankruptcy filing March 21 in Des Moines that
she has received $1,632 a month since September 2013. John Vratsinas made
payments totaling $116,728 in 2012 and 2013, according court records. In her
filing, Stacy Vratsinas claimed $812,704 in assets, including a residence in
West Des Moines and vacation property in Clear Lake that are in foreclosure,
and nearly $2.2 million in debts.

She said the full nature of her assets is
unknown because her ex-husband may have placed assets in her name without her
knowledge. For example, her name was listed on a brokerage account without her
knowledge, according to the filing. Stacy Vratsinas filed for divorce in November
2011.
